Primary and secondary consciousness: a comparative table

PRIMARY CONSCIOUSNESS

SECONDARY CONSCIOUSNESS

•  A field structure and a part of the whole system

•  A field structure and a part of the whole system

• Consciousness of a primate, of an animal

• Modern consciousness, new consciousness or human consciousness

•  Starts evolving in utero

•  Owing to this consciousness, we have outstripped apes in intellectual development

• Connected with the entire human organism and manages all its chemistry

•  Very aggressive and active

•  Possesses a poorly manifested intellect, hidebound

• A very strong artificial intelligence. By means of secondary consciousness we analyse, think, and criticise

•  Connected with secondary consciousness

•  Evolves further than primary consciousness

•  Personality is directly connected with primary consciousness

• Personality is not connected with secondary consciousness. Secondary consciousness is connected with primary consciousness only.

• Directly connected with the three-dimensional world; associated with eyesight, hearing, and all our tactile sensations. Primary consciousness is what provides our Personality with information about the three-dimensional world.

• Secondary consciousness is what we identify ourselves with by force of habit. Thoughts and images come and calculating processes take place via this consciousness. There is logic and many more. That is, all those images, all information we receive go through secondary consciousness into primary consciousness, and thereafter primary consciousness presents all that to Personality.

• Gets stuck in development, ceases to evolve at the age of about 5-6 years old (but more often even earlier), i.e. consciousness remains as that of a primate.

• It is what we actively develop while studying at kindergartens, secondary schools and universities. This is exactly the evolution of secondary consciousness.

• Primary consciousness is capable of thinking and reasoning, but without secondary consciousness thoughts boil down to a primitive state or to consciousness of a primate: there are very few thoughts and only of what is necessary.

• Secondary consciousness imposes lots of various desires and interesting things on primary consciousness. We mostly regard this consciousness as ourselves.

• Hatred, enmity, envy – all this is in primary consciousness, as well as cravings, desires, impulses, and everything else.

• Most often a human being associates oneself with secondary consciousness, even overlooking primary consciousness.

• Primary consciousness is connected both with the body and the Personality.

• Most often a human being associates oneself with secondary consciousness, even overlooking primary consciousness.

• An antipode of the Personality, its reflection

• Directly connected with the system (“the devil”)

• Regards oneself as Self

• Regards oneself as Self

• Between these two consciousnesses there is a struggle. But there is also an opposition of both consciousnesses (each separately and both of them taken together) towards Personality. They fight for the power of attention, for the life-giving juices coming from Personality, for that energy...

• When we are occupied with some work, thinking, being focused on something, being loaded, simply having a talk, playing chess or reflecting, it is exactly our secondary consciousness in operation. It operates where plenty of information must be processed.

• Thoughts mostly come into secondary consciousness. But they are projected on primary consciousness, i.e. it is primary consciousness that observes them inside us (let’s say, inside our structure). They are not observed by Personality directly. At that, Personality observes them via primary consciousness. Personality provides power, attention, and it directs this attention on clinging onto such thought or not, on activating it or not.

• Thoughts mostly come into secondary consciousness. All those flashing images take place exactly there.

• Primary consciousness also regards oneself as Self. It is that very little child who sits within every human being.

• As a matter of fact, primary consciousness has power over secondary consciousness or new consciousness.

• How does Personality operate? Due to certain laws, Personality is in direct contact with primary consciousness. At that, secondary or human consciousness dictates to the primate, i.e. primary consciousness, tells it stories and shows pictures, whereas primary consciousness presents all that to Personality… But when a person gains a certain degree of freedom, improving oneself, he or she starts dictating to the consciousness of a primate what it should do. This way the person controls consciousness entirely. Hence, is it possible to defeat the devil? It is not just possible, but necessary. And, first and foremost, the devil should be defeated within oneself.
